Toralf,
Manual switch boxes are ALWAYS very unreliable. While switching, you're
physycally breaking contact with all pins and wiring. It's exactly like
pulling all the plugs out the back of one computer and plugging them into
another without switching off the PCs. Some admittedly do have cross-wiring
inside to hold the 5 volt rails, but the small surges that are generated
can't be good.
People have been trying to convince me for a while that this is an OK
thing to do but I strongly disagree. The amount of PCs that come over the
floor here with PS/2 ports broken is too many. In all cases the customer
unplugs or plugs in connectors with the PC running, or uses a manual switch
box.
Seriously - if you want to do this and have your PCs live to tell the
tail - spend the bucks and get a proper KVM. (the ones with the circuitry
inside them).
Regards,
